Nongenetic Evolution

Evolution, but not as we know it

Nongenetic Evolution refers to evolutionary processes that are not based on changes in genes. For instance, when products or ideas evolve like organisms, such as the development of Gillette razor blades or the Shell corporate logo. Is evolution evolving out of gene-based life forms onto a next level?
